BROKEN FRAMES SYNDICATE plays contemporary music and brings holistic concert experiences to the stage. The ten musicians show alternatives to the usual and stand up for the critical examination of socially relevant topics.

Their focus is on collaboration with young composers, through which they commit themselves to the diversification of the contemporary classical scene. The conceptual depth of their programming is the core of our vision.

With new formats, they use music to tell stories, inspire discussions, think outside the box, and invest in new ways of thinking. In doing so, they consciously free themselves from outdated structures and dogmas of the music business.

Founded in 2018 after their time at the International Ensemble Modern Academy in Frankfurt, they now play in varying formations and regularly perform in concerts and at festivals in Germany and abroad. Recent invitations include Mixtur Festival in Barcelona, the Harvard Group for New Music residency, and Beethovenfest Bonn.
